Those skilled in the art should understand that the present disclosure can be implemented without some specific details. In some instances, methods, means, elements, and circuits well-known to those skilled in the art are not described in detail so as to highlight the gist of the present disclosure.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which shows a fingerprint recognition component wake-up circuit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0040] As Figure 1 shown, the circuit includes:

[0041] A selection module 10, including a plurality of selection units (not shown), each selection unit is used to connect a plurality of sensing capacitors 21 in the touch panel 2 in parallel to obtain a sensing unit corresponding to each selection unit;

[0042] The wake-up module 20 is connected to the selection module 10 and is configured to receive the sensing signals generated by each of the sensing units in response to a touch operation, and wake up the fingerprint recognition component 3 according to the sensing signals of each sensing unit for fingerprint collection.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the selection unit is used to connect multiple sensing capacitors in parallel in the touch panel to obtain sensing units corresponding to each selection unit, and the wake-up module receives the sensing signals generated by each of the sensing units in response to a touch operation, and wakes up the fingerprint recognition component according to the sensing signals of each sensing unit to perform fingerprint collection on the touch panel. It is possible to wake up the fingerprint recognition component according to the sensing signals of each sensing unit without using an analog-to-digital converter, which has the characteristics of low power consumption. Moreover, directly reusing the sensing capacitors of the touch panel to implement the wake-up function has the characteristic of low cost. Additionally, the embodiment of the present disclosure can adaptively select the sensing capacitors corresponding to each sensing unit by using the selection module, which has high flexibility.

[0044] In a possible implementation manner, the touch panel may include a capacitive fingerprint recognition panel. The touch panel may include a sensing capacitor array, and the sensing capacitor array includes N×M sensing capacitors, where N and M are both positive integers. In one example, when a user touches a sensing capacitor, the voltage of the corresponding sensing capacitor will change.

[0045] In a possible implementation manner, the touch panel may further include a display panel. By splicing the capacitive fingerprint recognition panel and the display panel to form a touch panel and setting it on an electronic device, the capacitive fingerprint recognition panel and the display panel can share resources such as clock lines to achieve resource reuse. Of course, in some embodiments, the capacitive fingerprint recognition panel may be separately set on the electronic device.

[0046] In one example, the display panel may include any one or more of an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) display panel, an LED (Light Emitting Diode) display panel, a MiniLED (Mini Light Emitting Diode) display panel, a MicroLED (Micro Light Emitting Diode) display panel, an OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) display panel, etc.

[0047] The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the number of sensing capacitors in each sensing unit, and those skilled in the art can set it according to needs. In one example, the embodiments of the present disclosure can configure the number of sensing capacitors in each sensing unit and the specific sensing capacitors included through a selection module in real time to adapt to different environments and different requirements.

[0048] In a possible implementation manner, the selection unit includes a plurality of selection switches. The first ends of the selection switches are connected to a plurality of sensing capacitors 21, and the second ends of the selection switches are connected to each other.

[0049] In one example, the selection switch can be a selection switch obtained based on a Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET), an Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT), or other transistors.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which shows a schematic diagram of a sensing unit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0051] In one example, as Figure 2 shown, the embodiments of the present disclosure can use the selection module to select 4 sensing capacitors (C(1) to C(4)) to obtain 4 sensing units respectively, that is, each sensing unit includes 1 sensing capacitor.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 which shows a schematic diagram of a sensing unit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0053] In one example, as Figure 3 shown, the embodiments of the present disclosure can use the selection module to select 16 sensing capacitors {C(1), C(2), C(3), C(4), C(5), C(6), C(7), C(8)} and {C(9), C(10), C(11), C(12), C(13), C(14), C(15), C(16)} to obtain 2 sensing units respectively, that is, each sensing unit includes 8 sensing capacitors. Exemplarily, as Figure 3As shown, the sensing capacitors of the two sensing units are in the same column. After the sensing capacitors of each sensing unit are selected by the selection module, they are connected in parallel. For example, in the sensing unit composed of sensing capacitors {C(1), C(2), C(3), C(4), C(5), C(6), C(7), C(8)}, if the user touches the area where the sensing capacitors {C(1), C(2), C(3), C(4), C(5), C(6), C(7), C(8)} are located, then the sensing unit obtains the sensing signal output by the parallel connection of the sensing capacitors {C(1), C(2), C(3), C(4), C(5), C(6), C(7), C(8)}. In this way, the signal volume can be increased and the detection accuracy can be improved.

[0054] The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the number of sensing capacitors of each sensing unit. The number of sensing capacitors of each sensing unit can be one or multiple. Moreover, the positions of the multiple sensing capacitors of each sensing unit can be arbitrary, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 which shows a schematic diagram of the configuration of the sensing unit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0056] In one example, as Figure 4 shown, the switch module 40 can select the corresponding sensing switch according to the input switch control signal to form the corresponding sensing unit. Exemplarily, the switch control signal can include the first switch control signal S1 and the second switch control signal S2. The sensing capacitors in the corresponding sensing unit are determined jointly by the first switch control signal S1 and the second switch control signal S2. Exemplarily, when both the first switch control signal S1 and the second switch control signal S2 are in the effective state, the corresponding sensing capacitor is selected.

[0057] In a possible implementation manner, the embodiments of the present disclosure can select the sensing capacitors in the corresponding area based on the area where the user habitually touches to form a sensing unit. For example, the touch habit area of the user can be determined according to the collected historical touch data, and the second control unit is used to generate the corresponding switch control signal to select the sensing capacitors in the corresponding area for parallel connection. In this way, the wake-up success rate can be increased, and personalized configuration can be realized, which can improve the user experience.

[0058] In one example, for different devices and different users, they have different touch habits. During the process of the user using the electronic device, the embodiments of the present disclosure can store the area information of the user's habitual touch in the storage module. Based on a large amount of data accumulation, the embodiments of the present disclosure can obtain accurate data to improve the judgment success rate.

[0059] In one example, the storage module may include a computer-readable storage medium, which may be a tangible device that can hold and store instructions used by an instruction execution device. The computer-readable storage medium may be, for example, but not limited to, an electrical storage device, a magnetic storage device, an optical storage device, an electromagnetic storage device, a semiconductor storage device, or any suitable combination of the foregoing. More specific examples (non-exhaustive list) of the computer-readable storage medium include: portable computer disks, hard disks, random access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM or flash memory), static random access memory (SRAM), programmable read-only memory (PROM), portable compact disk read-only memory (CD-ROM), digital versatile disk (DVD), memory stick, floppy disk, mechanically encoded devices, such as punch cards or raised structures in grooves storing instructions thereon, and any suitable combination of the foregoing. The computer-readable storage medium used herein is not construed as an instantaneous signal itself, such as radio waves or other freely propagating electromagnetic waves, electromagnetic waves propagated through a waveguide or other transmission medium (e.g., optical pulses through an optical fiber cable), or electrical signals transmitted through wires.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 which shows a schematic diagram of a fingerprint recognition component wake-up circuit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0061] In a possible implementation manner, as Figure 5 shown, the wake-up module 20 may include:

[0062] A first control unit 210, connected to the output ends of each selection unit (not shown), for generating a judgment signal EN0 according to each sensing signal;

[0063] A second control unit 220, connected to the first control unit 210, for outputting a wake-up signal EN1 to wake up the fingerprint recognition component 3 for fingerprint collection when the judgment signal EN0 is valid.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the wake-up module generates a judgment signal according to each sensing signal, and outputs a wake-up signal when the judgment signal EN0 is valid to wake up the fingerprint recognition component for fingerprint collection, which can reduce power consumption.

[0065] In a possible implementation manner, as Figure 5 shown, the first control unit 210 may include a plurality of voltage conversion units 2110, a plurality of comparison units 2120, and a judgment unit 2130, wherein,

[0066] Each voltage conversion unit 2110 is configured to receive the sensing signal of the corresponding sensing unit, and perform voltage conversion on the sensing signal to obtain a converted voltage;

[0067] Each comparison unit 2120 is configured to compare the converted voltage with a reference voltage Vref to obtain a comparison result;

[0068] The determination unit 2130 is connected to the output ends of the respective comparison units 2120, and is configured to output the valid determination signal EN0 when the comparison result output by any one of the comparison units 2120 is that the converted voltage is higher than the reference voltage Vref.

[0069] In one example, one conversion unit, one comparison unit, and one sensing unit correspond to each other. The sensing signal output after the sensing capacitors in the sensing unit are connected in parallel is converted by the voltage conversion unit to obtain a converted voltage. The comparison unit compares the converted voltage with a preset reference voltage to obtain a comparison result. If the converted voltage is higher than the reference voltage, the determination unit outputs a valid determination signal EN0, so that the second control unit 220 outputs a wake-up signal to wake up the fingerprint recognition component.

[0070] The present disclosure embodiment does not limit the specific magnitude of the reference voltage. The reference voltage can be obtained based on experience. When the converted voltage is higher than the reference voltage, it can be considered that the user's finger touches the touch panel and the fingerprint recognition function is required. Therefore, the present disclosure embodiment generates a wake-up signal to wake up the fingerprint recognition component.

[0071] In one example, the voltage conversion unit 2110 may include a voltage converter, which can convert the induced charge of the sensing unit into a voltage. The present disclosure embodiment does not limit the specific implementation manner of the voltage conversion unit 2110.

[0072] In one example, the comparison unit 2120 may include a comparator.

[0073] In a possible implementation manner, the determination unit 2130 includes an OR logic operation unit (OR).

[0074] In a possible implementation manner, the second control unit 220 is further connected to the selection module 10, and is configured to output switch control signals S (including a first switch control signal S1 and a second switch control signal S2) to select the sensing capacitors 21 of each sensing unit from the capacitance array of the touch panel 2, and connect the selected multiple sensing capacitors 21 in parallel.

[0075] Wherein, the number of sensing capacitors 21 of each sensing unit is the same or different.

[0076] In a possible implementation, the second control unit 220 may include a processing component, which may include, but is not limited to, a single processor, discrete components, or a combination of a processor and discrete components. The processor may include a controller in an electronic device that has the function of executing instructions, and the processor may be implemented in any suitable manner. For example, it may be implemented by one or more application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), digital signal processors (DSPs), digital signal processing devices (DSPDs), programmable logic devices (PLDs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), controllers, microcontrollers, microprocessors, or other electronic components. Inside the processor, the executable instructions may be executed through hardware circuits such as logic gates, switches, application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), programmable logic controllers, and embedded microcontrollers.

[0077] The second control unit 220 may generate a wake-up signal with reference to related technologies, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this.
